Sheila Cassani began farming her rental home while a college student. She started with a small vegetable patch, but it soon spread to keeping chickens and bees and planting produce on nearly every available patch of the small yard not dedicated to the poultry.
Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa).
They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead the “KansasStreet Farm” and they try to keep things as closed loop as possible by catching rainwater, composting, using the chickens to prepare the veggie beds and fermenting leftover produce.

This my brother's small studio apartment in the city (only 240 sq. feet - his monthly rent is $500). The building was built in 1918 – so the place itself is very old. However, my brother added modern elements to make the space more of his own. I hope you guys get inspiration on how to maximize and live in a small space from this video! Thanks again for watching! ~b

Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometimes known as carriage, coach, or laneway houses.
These small homes are typically around 700-1000 square feet in size, although the size sometimes has to be calculated as a percentage of the size of the yard.
Adding new homes in potentially underused backyard spaces is a sustainable way to provide more housing options in walkable urban neighbourhoods where people don't need to use cars to get around for every errand. ADUs can also help reduce urban sprawl by reducing the need for cities to grow outwards, which increases commuting distances and therefore increases transportation pollution.
In Vancouver, laneway houses have been legal for a few years and the city is issuing building permits for ~500 new units each year. At this scale, ADU's are starting to have a positive impact on the housing situation in the City of Vancouver.
That said, one of the major problems with laneway houses at the moment is that, in some cities, you can't sell the laneway house separately from the main house, which means they might only be accessible to people who are already land owners, or to tenants who can rent them. Eventually, it would be great if the properties could be stratified so that the big and small homes could be sold separately.

A young couple with another baby on the way needed more space, so designer Jodie Rosen helped renovate their home with a new addition. See how she created a cohesive look in the open-concept main floor with white walls, modern finishes and colorful accessories.
A graphic, modern stairway welcomes guests into the home. Jodie kept all the walls white so the furniture, rugs and decor stand out. The modern kitchen features a waterfall island and a large peninsula that divides it from the living room. A pantry and panelled fridge on either side of the range adds symmetry, while a black frame around the area provides contrast. The sunken back family room is designed to feel more intimate and laid-back without compromising style. A brick veneer wall adds texture and is accented by floating shelves and a low cabinet for extra storage. While the envelope of the home is fairly monochromatic, Jodie injected personality and major wow-factor into the powder room with a bold and colorful wallpaper.

Creative and inspiring design ideas for a urban chic home interior.
Music: SmartSound

Transitory accommodation in a treatment facility for a few weeks is not normally considered permanent enough to replace a more stable location as 'home'. In 2005, 100 million people worldwide were estimated to be homeless.

Interior Design

Interior Design is an American interior design magazine. For over 80 years, the Interior Design network has been a global leading design publication, website and host of special events to designers around the world. Interior Design magazine (published by Sandow), helps shape smart and booming businesses with a strong desire for innovation and design. This magazine has been an important resource for professional designers and is demonstrated throughout their work in projects as well as their design process. The Interior Design's events have connected with the industry by stimulating creativity, leadership, innovation and collaboration through a variety of practices and programs. Interior Design is the finest resource for significant content for the industry's artists and designers, and will only continue to be.

Editors have included Donald D. Macmillan;Sherman R. Emery, from 1960 to 1983; and Stanley Abercrombie.

Biking, golf, hiking, horseback riding, swimming, and tennis in the nearby desert and mountain areas are major forms of recreation in Palm Springs. The city is also famous for its mid-century modern architecture and design elements.

History

Founding

Native American settlement

Archaeological research has shown that the Cahuilla people have lived in the area for the past 350–500 years. The Cahuilla name for the area was "Se-Khi" (boiling water). When the Agua Caliente Reservation was established by the United States government in 1896, the reservation land was composed of alternating sections (640 acres) of land laid out across the desert in a checkerboard pattern. The alternating non-reservation sections were granted to the Southern Pacific Railroad as an incentive to bring rail lines through the open desert.

The sunken back family room is designed to feel more intimate and laid-back without compromising style. A brick veneer wall adds texture and is accented by floating shelves and a low cabinet for extra storage. While the envelope of the home is fairly monochromatic, Jodie injected personality and major wow-factor into the powder room with a bold and colorful wallpaper.

Interior Design – This Urban Bachelor Pad Is Fit For A Family

Designer Mazen El-Abdallah shares a bachelor-friendly space he designed for a tech exec hoping to use it as his family home someday. See how the designer mixes masculine decor with modern lines and understated glitz for a space that can continue to grow with the young owner.
The home isn’t your typical bachelor pad – no massive leather sofas or dark man caves here. Instead, Mazen decorated the space with a thoughtful mix of styles and eras, offering a timeless and adaptable aesthetic. The living room is a nice welcome into the space, featuring an ornate Victorian fireplace and a standout snowflake-shaped Murano glass light fixture. A white bistro-style kitchen has black steel doors that lead out to the balcony, and a cozy second-floor den boasts cool finds like vintage South African chairs and a jute and chenille rug. The soothing master bedroom features a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom.

Berkeley's backyard tiny house adds income & affordable housing

Karen Chapple is a city planning professor so she knows all about the benefits of backyard cottages as urban infill and for adding density to sprawling neighborhoods, but when she took out a loan to build her own "accessory dwelling unit" (AKA secondary dwelling unit, granny flat, in-law unit), she did it for what she calls selfish reasons.
The place is small- the footprint is just 250 square feet (the 450 square feet total includes the sleeping loft and porch)-, but her first tenants were a family with a 2-year-old son. Both Karen Kerr and her partner are firefighters which means their salaries don't go far in the high rent communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. So downsizing to a tiny home just made sense.

Detroit, The USA's Cheapest Houses

AmericanRoadtriphttp://www.overlander.tv
Watch our other Detroit videos including an interview with Pinky about urban farming http://www.overlander.tv/tag/detroit/
I interviewed Pinky Jones about MUFI, the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative. She had just bought a house in the same North End Detroit neighbourhood as the UrbanFarm for $3,000. In this video she takes us for a short tour of the two story, 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 kitchen property. Pinky bought her house with her brother at a Detroit City Tax Auction. Detroit City has auctions of vacant homes as a result of tax lien foreclosures, in which homeowners failed to pay their property taxes and other municipal fees. Pinky and her brother are yet to get Utilities and Water connected in their new home. Pinky believes many in Detroit have trouble paying these bills and many go without heating, electricity and water, even through the harsh Michigan winter.
Many Beautiful historic homes are available in Detroit for very cheap prices. Many DIYers buy houses and surrounding vacant blocks to grow urban veggie gardens. Detroit is becoming quite a hub for young artists, attracted by the cheap rents and properties, and the unique post industrial landscape. For more information on buying houses in Detroit http://buildingdetroit.org/Home BUT do your research http://www.marketwatch.com/story/detroits-1000-houses-may-be-a-lousy-deal-2014-04-16

Urban self-reliance: homestead in Oakland's small rented lot

Sheila Cassani began farming her rental home while a college student. She started with a small vegetable patch, but it soon spread to keeping chickens and bees and planting produce on nearly every available patch of the small yard not dedicated to the poultry.
Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa).
They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead ...

City Studio Apartment Tour (240 sq. feet - $500 rent)

This my brother's small studio apartment in the city (only 240 sq. feet - his monthly rent is $500). The building was built in 1918 – so the place itself is very old. However, my brother added modern elements to make the space more of his own. I hope you guys get inspiration on how to maximize and live in a small space from this video!

The Accessory Dwelling Unit for Sustainable Urban Living - A Tiny House Alternative

Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometimes known as carriage, coach, or laneway houses.
These small homes are typically around 700-1000 square feet in size, although the size sometimes has to be calculated as a percentage of the size of the yard.
Adding new homes in potentially underused backyard spaces is a sustainable way to provide more housing options in walkable urban neighbourhoods where people don't need to use cars to get around for every errand. ADUs can also help reduce urban sprawl by reducing the need for cities to grow outwards, which increases commuting distances and therefore increases transportation pollution.
In Vancouver, laneway houses have been l...

Interior Design — Urban Family Home Reno

A young couple with another baby on the way needed more space, so designer Jodie Rosen helped renovate their home with a new addition. See how she created a cohesive look in the open-concept main floor with white walls, modern finishes and colorful accessories.
A graphic, modern stairway welcomes guests into the home. Jodie kept all the walls white so the furniture, rugs and decor stand out. The modern kitchen features a waterfall island and a large peninsula that divides it from the living room. A pantry and panelled fridge on either side of the range adds symmetry, while a black frame around the area provides contrast.

Sheila Cassani began farming her rental home while a college student. She started with a small vegetable patch, but it soon spread to keeping chickens and bees and planting produce on nearly every available patch of the small yard not dedicated to the poultry.
Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa).
They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead the “KansasStreet Farm” and they try to keep things as closed loop as possible by catching rainwater, composting, using the chickens to prepare the veggie beds and fermenting leftover produce.

Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa).
They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead the “KansasStreet Farm” and they try to keep things as closed loop as possible by catching rainwater, composting, using the chickens to prepare the veggie beds and fermenting leftover produce.

The Accessory Dwelling Unit for Sustainable Urban Living - A Tiny House Alternative

Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometime...

Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometimes known as carriage, coach, or laneway houses.
These small homes are typically around 700-1000 square feet in size, although the size sometimes has to be calculated as a percentage of the size of the yard.
Adding new homes in potentially underused backyard spaces is a sustainable way to provide more housing options in walkable urban neighbourhoods where people don't need to use cars to get around for every errand. ADUs can also help reduce urban sprawl by reducing the need for cities to grow outwards, which increases commuting distances and therefore increases transportation pollution.
In Vancouver, laneway houses have been legal for a few years and the city is issuing building permits for ~500 new units each year. At this scale, ADU's are starting to have a positive impact on the housing situation in the City of Vancouver.
That said, one of the major problems with laneway houses at the moment is that, in some cities, you can't sell the laneway house separately from the main house, which means they might only be accessible to people who are already land owners, or to tenants who can rent them. Eventually, it would be great if the properties could be stratified so that the big and small homes could be sold separately.

A young couple with another baby on the way needed more space, so designer Jodie Rosen helped renovate their home with a new addition. See how she created a cohesive look in the open-concept main floor with white walls, modern finishes and colorful accessories.
A graphic, modern stairway welcomes guests into the home. Jodie kept all the walls white so the furniture, rugs and decor stand out. The modern kitchen features a waterfall island and a large peninsula that divides it from the living room. A pantry and panelled fridge on either side of the range adds symmetry, while a black frame around the area provides contrast. The sunken back family room is designed to feel more intimate and laid-back without compromising style. A brick veneer wall adds texture and is accented by floating shelves and a low cabinet for extra storage. While the envelope of the home is fairly monochromatic, Jodie injected personality and major wow-factor into the powder room with a bold and colorful wallpaper.

Designer Mazen El-Abdallah shares a bachelor-friendly space he designed for a tech exec hoping to use it as his family home someday. See how the designer mixes masculine decor with modern lines and understated glitz for a space that can continue to grow with the young owner.
The home isn’t your typical bachelor pad – no massive leather sofas or dark man caves here. Instead, Mazen decorated the space with a thoughtful mix of styles and eras, offering a timeless and adaptable aesthetic. The living room is a nice welcome into the space, featuring an ornate Victorian fireplace and a standout snowflake-shaped Murano glass light fixture. A white bistro-style kitchen has black steel doors that lead out to the balcony, and a cozy second-floor den boasts cool finds like vintage South African chairs and a jute and chenille rug. The soothing master bedroom features a walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom.

Berkeley's backyard tiny house adds income & affordable housing

Karen Chapple is a city planning professor so she knows all about the benefits of backyard cottages as urban infill and for adding density to sprawling neighborhoods, but when she took out a loan to build her own "accessory dwelling unit" (AKA secondary dwelling unit, granny flat, in-law unit), she did it for what she calls selfish reasons.
The place is small- the footprint is just 250 square feet (the 450 square feet total includes the sleeping loft and porch)-, but her first tenants were a family with a 2-year-old son. Both Karen Kerr and her partner are firefighters which means their salaries don't go far in the high rent communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. So downsizing to a tiny home just made sense.

I interviewed Pinky Jones about MUFI, the Michigan Urban Farming Initiative. She had just bought a house in the same North End Detroit neighbourhood as the UrbanFarm for $3,000. In this video she takes us for a short tour of the two story, 6 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 kitchen property. Pinky bought her house with her brother at a Detroit City Tax Auction. Detroit City has auctions of vacant homes as a result of tax lien foreclosures, in which homeowners failed to pay their property taxes and other municipal fees. Pinky and her brother are yet to get Utilities and Water connected in their new home. Pinky believes many in Detroit have trouble paying these bills and many go without heating, electricity and water, even through the harsh Michigan winter.
Many Beautiful historic homes are available in Detroit for very cheap prices. Many DIYers buy houses and surrounding vacant blocks to grow urban veggie gardens. Detroit is becoming quite a hub for young artists, attracted by the cheap rents and properties, and the unique post industrial landscape.

LA coliving: PodShare's permeable intersection between social/privacy

Calling it “a social network with an address”, Los Angeles entrepreneur ElvinaBeck created PodShare, a coliving experiment where dozens of “Podestrians”- travelers, mobile workers or new arrivals to the city- share a communal space filled with sleeping pods or “bunk beds for adults”.
Beck, who built the first PodShare in 2012 with her father, wanted to respond to her demographic’s rejection of widespread home ownership and embrace of the sharing economy. She set out to transform the American bunk bed, creating a more open (and co-ed) version of the Japanese capsule hotels.
For $40 to $50 per night (or discounted weekly and monthly prices), Podestrians can choose a bottom or top sleeping pod (equipped with a lamp and a small flatscreen television with Internet access) along with all the...

Containertopia: cargo container tiny home town on Oakland lot

Luke Iseman and HeatherStewart were tired of paying San Francisco rents and had always dreaming of living in a shipping container so for less than one month’s rent they bought a used shipping container ($2,300 from the Port of Oakland) and began to convert it into a home.
They rented an abandoned lot near the port in West Oakland where they parked their new home and began renting out other containers to friends, while experimenting to create an ideal transportable home. Their 160-square-foot home cost less than the price of a car to fit out. For a total of $12,000 and about 3 weeks of labor, they had added bamboo floors, a lofted bed, a porch, photovoltaics, fast Internet, LED lights, a shower with on-demand hot water, a humanure toilet and a basic kitchen (a camping stove as oven and co...

Earthships: self-sustaining homes for a post-apocalyptic US?

Comments from the original posting of the video: http://faircompanies.com/forum/discussion/385/earthship-discussion
On the desert mesa of New Mexico, miles from the nearest town of Taos (pop. 5,700), Star-Wars-like shelters rise from the earth, half-buried and covered in adobe. Called “Earthships” - brainchild of architect Mike Reynolds in the 1970s- they’re nearly completely self-sufficient homes: no electrical grid, no water lines, no sewer.
The GreaterWorld Earthship Community, about 70 passive solar homes built from earth and trash on 633 acres, had a rough start; they were shut down as an illegal subdivision in 1997 and it took them 7 years to come to compliance. Though today, the county fully cooperates with Reynolds and his Earthship Biotecture operation to turn trash (tires, can...

Owner-built Atlanta glass “treehouse” floats among hardwoods

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, architects Mary Clare DeReuil & Carlos Tardio were without work, but determined to continue creating buildings. “We were scouring the city all the time looking for cheap land, land that no one wanted to deal with because it was problematic,” explains DeReuil. They finally picked up property near downtown Atlanta that was “problematic” and “unbelievably cheap” because there was no driveway access.
Over the course of 4 years, the two architects (Tardio Architecture) worked 10 hour days to create an experimental glass dream home using materials easily accessible in industrialized settings: steel beams, cast concrete, 2 by 6 milled lumber and lots of recycled glass. “We scrapped this thing together with personal loans, brother and sister loans, loan shar...

Why Multifamily Real Estate is Better than buying a house -Grant Cardone

Real estate is the best way to grow wealth. If you want to get super rich, get involved in real estate — but I'm not talking about just any real estate. I recently wrote an article that explained why buying a house is for suckers. A home is not an investment, because it doesn't pay you each month — you have to pay it. It's a liability to me, not an asset. Not only does a house leave you less mobile, it ties up your money so you can't use it for real assets. There are many indications that multi-family apartment investments will continue to be great:
75 million Baby Boomers are headed into retirement
Many of today's apartment complexes may be converted to retirement communities in the future
Many millennials aren't buying homes
It's getting more expensive to build new apartment units
Y...

A New National Housing Policy

Filmed April 21, 2016, at the ULI Spring Meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Housing affordability challenges are affecting more households and communities than ever before.

Speakers:

Backyard aeroponics: self-sustaining farm for Wisconsin cold

Benjamin Staffeldt grew up on a farm and works in a garden center so when he and his wife Sara moved into a rental home (a duplex), it was only natural he'd want to start farming his (shared) backyard. They began with containers and then bought a kit greenhouse to extend the growing season and were selling to local supermarkets and restaurants, but the heating bills to farm during Wisconsin winters (with temperatures as low as -70°F) was cutting sharply into their profits.
They knew they had to maximize greenhouse space so they decided to grow vertical and to grow differently. They experimented with hydroponics and finally settled on aeroponics. "So aeroponics is similar to hydroponics using water rather than soil, but it's mist," explains Benjamin. "It's a mist that comes on inside the ...

LA coliving: PodShare's permeable intersection between social/privacy

Calling it “a social network with an address”, Los Angeles entrepreneur ElvinaBeck created PodShare, a coliving experiment where dozens of “Podestrians”- travelers, mobile workers or new arrivals to the city- share a communal space filled with sleeping pods or “bunk beds for adults”.
Beck, who built the first PodShare in 2012 with her father, wanted to respond to her demographic’s rejection of widespread home ownership and embrace of the sharing economy. She set out to transform the American bunk bed, creating a more open (and co-ed) version of the Japanese capsule hotels.
For $40 to $50 per night (or discounted weekly and monthly prices), Podestrians can choose a bottom or top sleeping pod (equipped with a lamp and a small flatscreen television with Internet access) along with all the shared spaces, including a kitchen (with communal food, and space for individual storage in the pantry and fridge), bathroom, showers (toiletries included) and a communal lounge.
Currently, there are 3 locations in Los Angeles, but Beck sees the model as scalable across the country and, similar to a gym, members could have overnight access at any location.
PodShare doesn’t own any of the locations, but instead rents empty space from landlords. They stay away from residentially-zoned properties and instead focus on converting commercial or live/work spaces. Beck and her partner KeraPackage have evolved the pods so they are now modular and totally mobile so they can go up and down at any location when a lease ends.
In reflection of the sharing economy’s privilege of “access” over “ownership”, Beck tries to outfit each location with extras like bicycles and instruments. She hopes each location will eventually have bigger extras, like a gym or pool. Currently, the Hollywood location even has a recording studio and editing bay.

47:21 How to get mentorship for the long-run

Luke Iseman and HeatherStewart were tired of paying San Francisco rents and had always dreaming of living in a shipping container so for less than one month’s rent they bought a used shipping container ($2,300 from the Port of Oakland) and began to convert it into a home.
They rented an abandoned lot near the port in West Oakland where they parked their new home and began renting out other containers to friends, while experimenting to create an ideal transportable home. Their 160-square-foot home cost less than the price of a car to fit out. For a total of $12,000 and about 3 weeks of labor, they had added bamboo floors, a lofted bed, a porch, photovoltaics, fast Internet, LED lights, a shower with on-demand hot water, a humanure toilet and a basic kitchen (a camping stove as oven and cooktop and “instead of a propane RV fridge”, they bought a $150 freezer from Home Depot and hacked it with $20 in parts (sensors and an Arduino) to run on a third of the energy of “Energy Star $2000 refrigerators”).
Iseman and Stewart call their tiny homes “Boxouses” and they plan to sell them fully-built for $29,000 a piece. They will also provide plans for those who want to convert their own container. One of the couple’s main goals is to set an example for container housing that can be compatible with life in one of the most expensive places to live in the country. Currently their homes are too small to be permitted in the area, San Francisco minimum size standard was recently lowered to 220 square feet, but Iseman and Stewart think the country needs more examples to inspire regulators/cities to allow for smaller and more portable structures.

Filmed May 3, 2017, at the ULI Spring Meeting in Seattle.
The semiannual ULI Real EstateConsensusForecast, a survey of leading industry experts, was just released. How is the new administration affecting the forecasts? How have they changed from six months ago? Where do the experts agree or disagree? Why? Where will the real estate industry be at the end of 2017?

Earthships: self-sustaining homes for a post-apocalyptic US?

Comments from the original posting of the video: http://faircompanies.com/forum/discussion/385/earthship-discussion
On the desert mesa of New Mexico, miles from the nearest town of Taos (pop. 5,700), Star-Wars-like shelters rise from the earth, half-buried and covered in adobe. Called “Earthships” - brainchild of architect Mike Reynolds in the 1970s- they’re nearly completely self-sufficient homes: no electrical grid, no water lines, no sewer.
The GreaterWorld Earthship Community, about 70 passive solar homes built from earth and trash on 633 acres, had a rough start; they were shut down as an illegal subdivision in 1997 and it took them 7 years to come to compliance. Though today, the county fully cooperates with Reynolds and his Earthship Biotecture operation to turn trash (tires, cans, glass bottles) into shelters and has even given them 2 acres to experiment with housing in anyway they like (they also provide their recycling).
Sixteen years ago, Tom Duke had just finished over a decade on the pro volleyball circuit when he bought a bit of land here with his wife and began to build a tiny Earthship the size of a storage shed. When their first son was born they built their dream house on the property, a two bedroom that, like other Earthships, collects rainwater, uses its water four times (the plants in the indoor greenhouse filter the greywater) and even processes its own sewage.
In this video, Tom takes us on a tour of his home, his original “Earthship survival pod”, the “nest” ($50,000 studio apartment), the “SimpleSurvival Earthship” (aimed mainly at the developing world), a custom home designed to feed a family of four (including a tilapia pond in the greenhouse) and the “BMW of Earthships”, the “Global" (aimed at the typical American family).

Owner-built Atlanta glass “treehouse” floats among hardwoods

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, architects Mary Clare DeReuil & Carlos Tardio were without work, but determined to continue creating buildings. “We were scouring the city all the time looking for cheap land, land that no one wanted to deal with because it was problematic,” explains DeReuil. They finally picked up property near downtown Atlanta that was “problematic” and “unbelievably cheap” because there was no driveway access.
Over the course of 4 years, the two architects (Tardio Architecture) worked 10 hour days to create an experimental glass dream home using materials easily accessible in industrialized settings: steel beams, cast concrete, 2 by 6 milled lumber and lots of recycled glass. “We scrapped this thing together with personal loans, brother and sister loans, loan sharks, credit cards, we just did whatever and made it happen.”
Not wanting to cut down any of the mature trees on the property, DeReuil and Tardio designed the home around the trees. As a result the structure floats among the huge hardwoods and has been nicknamed the “Atlanta treehouse”. Tardio prefers “House of Doors” since “the structural system was derived from an exploration of doors”. All the doors in the home are made of heavy sheets of glass with Tardio’s proprietary pivot system which allows even a child to open them with ease (we, the faircompanies family, took the home for a test drive and our then 3-year-old could open them easily).
To help pay off all those loans DeReuil and Tardio use only the studio on the top floor (a secret pivoting door separates the two floors) and rent the lower floor on AirBnB.

Why Multifamily Real Estate is Better than buying a house -Grant Cardone

Real estate is the best way to grow wealth. If you want to get super rich, get involved in real estate — but I'm not talking about just any real estate. I recen...

Real estate is the best way to grow wealth. If you want to get super rich, get involved in real estate — but I'm not talking about just any real estate. I recently wrote an article that explained why buying a house is for suckers. A home is not an investment, because it doesn't pay you each month — you have to pay it. It's a liability to me, not an asset. Not only does a house leave you less mobile, it ties up your money so you can't use it for real assets. There are many indications that multi-family apartment investments will continue to be great:
75 million Baby Boomers are headed into retirement
Many of today's apartment complexes may be converted to retirement communities in the future
Many millennials aren't buying homes
It's getting more expensive to build new apartment units
You ready to get involved in Multi-Family? Be sure to watch every Monday at noon EST and let's get you RICH.

Backyard aeroponics: self-sustaining farm for Wisconsin cold

Benjamin Staffeldt grew up on a farm and works in a garden center so when he and his wife Sara moved into a rental home (a duplex), it was only natural he'd want to start farming his (shared) backyard. They began with containers and then bought a kit greenhouse to extend the growing season and were selling to local supermarkets and restaurants, but the heating bills to farm during Wisconsin winters (with temperatures as low as -70°F) was cutting sharply into their profits.
They knew they had to maximize greenhouse space so they decided to grow vertical and to grow differently. They experimented with hydroponics and finally settled on aeroponics. "So aeroponics is similar to hydroponics using water rather than soil, but it's mist," explains Benjamin. "It's a mist that comes on inside the growing chamber, and it comes on every 3 minutes for 10 seconds, it's a really high oxygen water that's hitting that root. The method was actually developed and is being used by NASA because it uses so much less water and the speed of growth is much faster."
To fully customize the growing experience, they added a thermal wrap to their aeroponics towers which helps refract light to help keep the temperature stable within the grow chambers. They're now growing enough in their 10' by 12' greenhouse for farming to be Sara's full-time job.
They're hoping to commercialize their hybrid system- what they call ArtGarden. It's geared toward those looking to grow in a cold climate and in a small space (one unit fits into 4 square feet). This is all part of an increasingly customized growing world that Ben hopes might make farmers out of more of us.

Urban self-reliance: homestead in Oakland's small rented lot

Sheila Cassani began farming her rental home while a college student. She started with a small vegetable patch, but it soon spread to keeping chickens and bees and planting produce on nearly every available patch of the small yard not dedicated to the poultry.
Cassani and her partner Matthew wake up at the crack of dawn to let the chickens go free-range, but she says the garden isn’t a lot of work once you’ve put in the initial investment. Since they're renting they've trying to keep their investments low. They focused on reusing found materials, such as old fence to make raised beds, bamboo that grows on the property for trellises and chicken fencing (even indoors, their furniture was mostly found, including a pallet wood sofa).
They’ve dubbed their East Oakland (California) homestead the “KansasStreet Farm” and they try to keep things as closed loop as possible by catching rainwater, composting, using the chickens to prepare the veggie beds and fermenting leftover produce.

City Studio Apartment Tour (240 sq. feet - $500 rent)

This my brother's small studio apartment in the city (only 240 sq. feet - his monthly rent is $500). The building was built in 1918 – so the place itself is very old. However, my brother added modern elements to make the space more of his own. I hope you guys get inspiration on how to maximize and live in a small space from this video! Thanks again for watching! ~b

The Accessory Dwelling Unit for Sustainable Urban Living - A Tiny House Alternative

Accessory dwelling units (ADU) are small homes that can be built in the backyards of larger homes, in cities where they've been approved. They're also sometimes known as carriage, coach, or laneway houses.
These small homes are typically around 700-1000 square feet in size, although the size sometimes has to be calculated as a percentage of the size of the yard.
Adding new homes in potentially underused backyard spaces is a sustainable way to provide more housing options in walkable urban neighbourhoods where people don't need to use cars to get around for every errand. ADUs can also help reduce urban sprawl by reducing the need for cities to grow outwards, which increases commuting distances and therefore increases transportation pollution.
In Vancouver, laneway houses have been legal for a few years and the city is issuing building permits for ~500 new units each year. At this scale, ADU's are starting to have a positive impact on the housing situation in the City of Vancouver.
That said, one of the major problems with laneway houses at the moment is that, in some cities, you can't sell the laneway house separately from the main house, which means they might only be accessible to people who are already land owners, or to tenants who can rent them. Eventually, it would be great if the properties could be stratified so that the big and small homes could be sold separately.

21+ Home decor ideas for renters

More than 21 decor ideas for renters are detailed here:
Hint: some interior design ideas ...

Interior Design — Urban Family Home Reno

A young couple with another baby on the way needed more space, so designer Jodie Rosen helped renovate their home with a new addition. See how she created a cohesive look in the open-concept main floor with white walls, modern finishes and colorful accessories.
A graphic, modern stairway welcomes guests into the home. Jodie kept all the walls white so the furniture, rugs and decor stand out. The modern kitchen features a waterfall island and a large peninsula that divides it from the living room. A pantry and panelled fridge on either side of the range adds symmetry, while a black frame around the area provides contrast. The sunken back family room is designed to feel more intimate and laid-back without compromising style. A brick veneer wall adds texture and is accented by floating shelves and a low cabinet for extra storage. While the envelope of the home is fairly monochromatic, Jodie injected personality and major wow-factor into the powder room with a bold and colorful wallpaper.

LA coliving: PodShare's permeable intersection between social/privacy

Calling it “a social network with an address”, Los Angeles entrepreneur ElvinaBeck created PodShare, a coliving experiment where dozens of “Podestrians”- travelers, mobile workers or new arrivals to the city- share a communal space filled with sleeping pods or “bunk beds for adults”.
Beck, who built the first PodShare in 2012 with her father, wanted to respond to her demographic’s rejection of widespread home ownership and embrace of the sharing economy. She set out to transform the American bunk bed, creating a more open (and co-ed) version of the Japanese capsule hotels.
For $40 to $50 per night (or discounted weekly and monthly prices), Podestrians can choose a bottom or top sleeping pod (equipped with a lamp and a small flatscreen television with Internet access) along with all the shared spaces, including a kitchen (with communal food, and space for individual storage in the pantry and fridge), bathroom, showers (toiletries included) and a communal lounge.
Currently, there are 3 locations in Los Angeles, but Beck sees the model as scalable across the country and, similar to a gym, members could have overnight access at any location.
PodShare doesn’t own any of the locations, but instead rents empty space from landlords. They stay away from residentially-zoned properties and instead focus on converting commercial or live/work spaces. Beck and her partner KeraPackage have evolved the pods so they are now modular and totally mobile so they can go up and down at any location when a lease ends.
In reflection of the sharing economy’s privilege of “access” over “ownership”, Beck tries to outfit each location with extras like bicycles and instruments. She hopes each location will eventually have bigger extras, like a gym or pool. Currently, the Hollywood location even has a recording studio and editing bay.

Containertopia: cargo container tiny home town on Oakland lot

Luke Iseman and HeatherStewart were tired of paying San Francisco rents and had always dreaming of living in a shipping container so for less than one month’s rent they bought a used shipping container ($2,300 from the Port of Oakland) and began to convert it into a home.
They rented an abandoned lot near the port in West Oakland where they parked their new home and began renting out other containers to friends, while experimenting to create an ideal transportable home. Their 160-square-foot home cost less than the price of a car to fit out. For a total of $12,000 and about 3 weeks of labor, they had added bamboo floors, a lofted bed, a porch, photovoltaics, fast Internet, LED lights, a shower with on-demand hot water, a humanure toilet and a basic kitchen (a camping stove as oven and cooktop and “instead of a propane RV fridge”, they bought a $150 freezer from Home Depot and hacked it with $20 in parts (sensors and an Arduino) to run on a third of the energy of “Energy Star $2000 refrigerators”).
Iseman and Stewart call their tiny homes “Boxouses” and they plan to sell them fully-built for $29,000 a piece. They will also provide plans for those who want to convert their own container. One of the couple’s main goals is to set an example for container housing that can be compatible with life in one of the most expensive places to live in the country. Currently their homes are too small to be permitted in the area, San Francisco minimum size standard was recently lowered to 220 square feet, but Iseman and Stewart think the country needs more examples to inspire regulators/cities to allow for smaller and more portable structures.

Earthships: self-sustaining homes for a post-apocalyptic US?

Earthships: self-sustaining homes for a post-apocalyptic US?

Comments from the original posting of the video: http://faircompanies.com/forum/discussion/385/earthship-discussion
On the desert mesa of New Mexico, miles from the nearest town of Taos (pop. 5,700), Star-Wars-like shelters rise from the earth, half-buried and covered in adobe. Called “Earthships” - brainchild of architect Mike Reynolds in the 1970s- they’re nearly completely self-sufficient homes: no electrical grid, no water lines, no sewer.
The GreaterWorld Earthship Community, about 70 passive solar homes built from earth and trash on 633 acres, had a rough start; they were shut down as an illegal subdivision in 1997 and it took them 7 years to come to compliance. Though today, the county fully cooperates with Reynolds and his Earthship Biotecture operation to turn trash (tires, cans, glass bottles) into shelters and has even given them 2 acres to experiment with housing in anyway they like (they also provide their recycling).
Sixteen years ago, Tom Duke had just finished over a decade on the pro volleyball circuit when he bought a bit of land here with his wife and began to build a tiny Earthship the size of a storage shed. When their first son was born they built their dream house on the property, a two bedroom that, like other Earthships, collects rainwater, uses its water four times (the plants in the indoor greenhouse filter the greywater) and even processes its own sewage.
In this video, Tom takes us on a tour of his home, his original “Earthship survival pod”, the “nest” ($50,000 studio apartment), the “SimpleSurvival Earthship” (aimed mainly at the developing world), a custom home designed to feed a family of four (including a tilapia pond in the greenhouse) and the “BMW of Earthships”, the “Global" (aimed at the typical American family).

Owner-built Atlanta glass “treehouse” floats among hardwoods

When the financial crisis hit in 2008, architects Mary Clare DeReuil & Carlos Tardio were without work, but determined to continue creating buildings. “We were scouring the city all the time looking for cheap land, land that no one wanted to deal with because it was problematic,” explains DeReuil. They finally picked up property near downtown Atlanta that was “problematic” and “unbelievably cheap” because there was no driveway access.
Over the course of 4 years, the two architects (Tardio Architecture) worked 10 hour days to create an experimental glass dream home using materials easily accessible in industrialized settings: steel beams, cast concrete, 2 by 6 milled lumber and lots of recycled glass. “We scrapped this thing together with personal loans, brother and sister loans, loan sharks, credit cards, we just did whatever and made it happen.”
Not wanting to cut down any of the mature trees on the property, DeReuil and Tardio designed the home around the trees. As a result the structure floats among the huge hardwoods and has been nicknamed the “Atlanta treehouse”. Tardio prefers “House of Doors” since “the structural system was derived from an exploration of doors”. All the doors in the home are made of heavy sheets of glass with Tardio’s proprietary pivot system which allows even a child to open them with ease (we, the faircompanies family, took the home for a test drive and our then 3-year-old could open them easily).
To help pay off all those loans DeReuil and Tardio use only the studio on the top floor (a secret pivoting door separates the two floors) and rent the lower floor on AirBnB.

Why Multifamily Real Estate is Better than buying a house -Grant Cardone

Real estate is the best way to grow wealth. If you want to get super rich, get involved in real estate — but I'm not talking about just any real estate. I recently wrote an article that explained why buying a house is for suckers. A home is not an investment, because it doesn't pay you each month — you have to pay it. It's a liability to me, not an asset. Not only does a house leave you less mobile, it ties up your money so you can't use it for real assets. There are many indications that multi-family apartment investments will continue to be great:
75 million Baby Boomers are headed into retirement
Many of today's apartment complexes may be converted to retirement communities in the future
Many millennials aren't buying homes
It's getting more expensive to build new apartment units
You ready to get involved in Multi-Family? Be sure to watch every Monday at noon EST and let's get you RICH.
